One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety that impacts your day-to-day life. Receiving anxiety therapy from Thriveworks Lubbock, TX could be a way for you to experience newfound relief from the aggravating symptoms of persistent anxiety.
What Is Anxiety Therapy?
If you’re diagnosed with anxiety, the anxiety treatment you receive depends a lot on the type of anxiety at hand as well as the severity of your anxiety. Clinical anxiety (or recurring anxiety) is often experienced as:
- Constantly feeling stressed
- Desire to avoid social encounters
- Reliving traumatic experiences in dreams or flashbacks
- Racing thoughts, inability to focus on daily tasks
- Constant fatigue
- Insomnia
But don’t worry, plenty of everyday people just like you get the anxiety treatment they need through Thriveworks Lubbock, TX. Our clients generally use two types of providers: our psychiatric nurse practitioners and our psychologists (also known as a therapist or counselor). These mental health professionals can assist you in different ways.
How Does Anxiety Therapy Work?
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about your anxiety symptoms, potential causes, and more. They can help you better understand and manage it.
Our counselors and therapists are great at:
- Using talk therapy or behavioral therapy to promote self-awareness
- Developing coping mechanisms to use in real life, anxiety-inducing situations
- Helping family members or partners understand their loved one’s anxiety through relationship therapy or family counseling
The most common and effective form of therapy for anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is typically short-term and involves learning specific skills for reducing your unique anxiety symptoms and getting back to normal life.
A subcategory of CBT is exposure therapy, which is also highly effective and involves exposure to the event or object that causes your anxiety. The goal here is to gain confidence in those situations or around the given object, lessening your anxiety in the process and improving your ability to manage it.
